Kimberley Trip

I have finally started my Kimberley trip after 1 1/2 years planning.
Day 1 was boring driving 870km on the bitumen from home to the thriving metropolis of Coober Pedy.
The day started well with a trailer light check and find the indicators not working, fortunately a quick fix and we were off.
I was pleased at first to see the caravan park had dirt camping sites instead of concrete but after I started to drive the pegs in I realized that concrete would have been softer. We are now relaxing with a red wine and smelling a strong sewerage smell, not a caravan park I would recommend.
On to Alice Springs tomorrow so a few less Ks to do.

Travel well Tony.

Keep us posted.
Massive day nearly 900kms.

The last hour was a killer with the sun in our eyes, could hardly see the road.

I stayed there a few years back before a Simpson trip and could not sleep. Found it to noisy and stuffy, but I was in a dorm with 10 other blokes snoring and farting.
The guy who runs it is a great bloke, we had a few drinks with him in the bar, great prices at the bar too.

We stayed at den ham one year,they give you drill with a auger bit for you to put your pegs in rife ground.safe and happy travels
